July 25-26 CMP GSM and .22LR Rimfire Matches

This upcoming weekend is the SMGC Garand, Springfield, Vintage Military Match as well as .22 cal Rimfire Match.

This is the perfect opportunity for you keepers of vintage rifles to “blow the dust off” them and give them the opportunity to speak again!

The Club highly encourages all shooters to bring out your Lebels, Moisins, Mausers, Krag Jorgensons, Lee straight pulls, Enfields, Arisakas and of course your 1903s. In short any bolt action, magazine fed, military firearms. Sorry no single shot rifles (Sharps, Trapdoors, Muskets).

We would also like to encourage everyone to wear the period uniforms or uniform gear you may also have.

Thanks for helping to make this a nostalgic and exiting event!

Schedule Changes – June LR Cancelled, Replaced with Practice

The following announcement has been handed down by the SMGC Board of Directors:

The Long Range matches scheduled for Range 117 on June 19 and 20 must be cancelled as the Range will not be available.

Instead,  SMGC will open Range 103 for practice on Saturday and Sunday, June 19 and 20.  The BoD would be most appreciative of any persons who can plan to stay on and help out with a cleaning and reorganization of the Target Conex on Saturday after practice.  Many hands make light work.

We would also like to invite everyone to bring along an extra 80 rounds for a NTIT “rattle battle” practice.

Wilcox Range 103 repairs completed

Necessary repairs have been completed on Wilcox Range 103 and the facility is now reopened for use.

Future events originally scheduled to take place at Wilcox Range 103 are back on schedule as originally planned.

The club thanks Naval Special Warfare and Gene Rucks for allowing the club to use NSW Range 116 this past month.

ALERT: Practice Matches moved to Range 116

The practice matches for January 16 and 17 have been moved to Naval Special Warfare Range 116.

Wilcox Range 103 is closed due to a ricochet problem that resulted in an injury. Wilcox Range 103 will remain closed until the issue has been resolved.

The club requests members to be at the range between 0630 and 0700 to assist in refacing targets at Range 116.
